Impact from Vegas week #2 opens up with highlights from last week and then we cut to the backstage area where Bully Ray bitches about his wife Brooke getting engaged. He says he understands people feel the need to move on but she moves on when he SAYS she can.

In the arena Taz & Tenay hype up the Ladder Match and the BFG Series Jokers Wild Tournament.

Bully Ray comes out to the ring with his army close behind. He says that it’s time to take care of business and the first order of business tonight is Chris Sabin. He says Sabin has the opportunity to cash in his X-Division Title for a shot at the World Title next week at Destination X and later on Hogan is going to come out and ask Sabin to cash in the X-Division Title. Ray says when Hogan asks him that question he better do himself a favor and not trade that title in because Sabin doesn’t want any part of Bully Ray. Bully says he is a bad man that does bad things to “little people” like Sabin. Bully says tonight Aces & Eights are going to vote in a new Vice President and this will be “family business.”

Ray says speaking of families that brings him to the Main Event Mafia. Ray says MEM wants a fight next week but Aces & Eights “positively, absolutely, beyond a doubt…say NO” to that fight. He says they fight on their terms but before he can say anything else the Main Event Mafia’s music interrupts him.

Sting, Angle, Joe, & Magnus walk out with Joe & Magnus dressed for action. Angle says that challenge last week should be considered more of a warning than anything. He says they didn’t pick next week by accident because he’s defending the World Title that night. Angle says MEM will kill two birds with one stone because they are going to eliminate every member of Aces & Eights one by one and then at the end of the night Bully Ray will be all alone in his title match for the first time since he won the belt.

Sting says the newest member of MEM is a “heavy hitter” and before the end of the night Bully will find out just who that person is.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

Chris Sabin is shown walking into the arena.

At the top o the stage Jeramy Borash and the beautiful Christy Hemme stand at one of those lottery spinners. JB explains the rules for the Jokers Wild where two names will be randomly drawn to form a tag team. The winners of each of the Tag Team Matches tonight then face off in a Gauntlet Battle Royal where the winner earns 25 points. The first name pulled out is Jeff Hardy! Hardy comes out and then his partner is drawn as Joseph Park! Their opponents will be AJ Styles & Samoa Joe!

Joe & AJ definitely have a ton of history which will make that team very interesting and they also fought to a draw in both men’s first BFG Series match this year. AJ and Park will start the match off and as Park goes for a lockup AJ sidesteps him and then he sidesteps another attempt at a lockup. AJ then kicks Park and attempts to whip him into the ropes, but Park reverses it and then AJ slides through his legs and kicks Park in the knee. Park tags Hardy into the match and AJ locks up with Hardy in the center of the ring. AJ gets Hardy in a side headlock but Hardy shoves him into the ropes and Hip Tosses AJ. Hardy follows up with an armdrag and then a Sitout Front Suplex! 1…2…NO AJ kicks out! Hardy is selling his hip already. AJ grabs Hardy and shoves him into the corner and Joe tags himself in. Joe destroys Hardy in the corner with jabs and kicks. Joe then headbutts Hardy and whips him into the ropes. Joe goes for a backdrop but Hardy kicks him and then bounces off the ropes again but Joe explodes with a Running Back Elbow! 1…2…NO Hardy kicks out! Joe tosses Hardy into the corner and connects with a Running Elbow followed by the Leaping Enziguri! Joe drags Hardy over to AJ and tags him back into the match. Joe holds Hardy’s leg while AJ kicks it. AJ then hits a Snapmare Takeover and kicks Hardy in the back. Hardy fights back with rights and lefts but AJ catches him with a quick leg kick and then suddenly rolls Hardy up with the Calf Killa! Park runs in and hesitates not knowing what to do but finally settles on hitting AJ with an axe handle to break the hold. AJ goes nuts and tries to get after Park but the referee gets between them. Hardy then hits AJ with a Leaping Mule Kick as he turns around! Hardy tags Park in and Joe tags in as well! Joe charges at Park but Park ducks him and then hits a series of shoulder blocks but then AJ comes back in lights him up with chops and kicks. AJ hits the ropes but Park catches him with a backdrop! Park then hits a Splash on Joe in the corner! Park grabs Joe but Joe shoves him away and AJ comes flying in out of nowhere with the Springboard Flying Forearm! Joe then locks Park in the Coquina Clutch! Park taps out!

Winners: AJ & Joe via submission (Coquina Clutch)

After the match Joe and AJ get in each other’s face before walking away.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

Taryn Terrell is shown getting ready backstage.

Jay Bradley and Hernandez are announced as the next tag team from the random draw. Their opponents will be Aces & Eights member Mr. Anderson and Main Event Mafia member Magnus!

The Anderson/Magnus team definitely gives an interesting dynamic as MEM and A&8 members have to work together in this match. This match is pretty important for Magnus because he wins the Battle Royal later that would give him almost 50 points and a lead that would pretty much guarantee him a spot in the Final Four. Anderson and Mex will start this one off. Before he locks up with Hernandez, Anderson turns around and tags Magnus into the match. Hernandez tags in Bradley as well. Magnus and Bradley lockup and Magnus shoves Bradley into the ropes only to get run over by Jay. Bradley then hits the ropes and runs into a High Knee from the Brit for a nearfall. Bradley comes back with a knee to the gut and then tags in Hernandez. Magnus catches Hernandez with a drop toehold as he comes into the ring and then puts him in a wristlock. Magnus offers a tag but Anderson fakes an ankle injury and bails out to the floor. Bradley then takes Magnus out from behind and whips him into the corner. Hernandez hits a Splash and covers Magnus for a nearfall. Hernandez holds Magnus and tags Bradley in as Bradley hits Magnus in the gut. Bradley beats Magnus down on the mat and then picks Magnus up but Magnus comes back with right hands. Hernandez blind tags himself back in as Bradley shoves Magnus into the ropes. Bradley drops down and when Magnus leaps over him Hernandez flings himself into the ring with a Slingshot Shoulder Block onto Magnus! 1…2…NO Magnus kicks out! Hernandez chokes Magnus in the ropes and then tags Bradley in. Bradley beats on Magnus in the corner and then whips him into the opposite corner. Bradley charges at him but Magnus gets his boot up and then his elbow, and follows up with a Running Front Kick! Magnus goes for another tag and again Anderson drops down to the floor to avoid it. Hernandez tags in and charges at Magnus, but Magnus moves out of the way and then hits a clothesline! Magnus hits another clothesline and then whips Hernandez into the ropes and goes for a backdrop, but Hernandez stops and kicks him! Hernandez hits the ropes but Magnus is right behind him only to get hit from behind by Bradley. Magnus knocks Bradley off the apron but Hernandez hits him from behind. Hernandez then attempts to whip Magnus into the ropes but Magnus reverses it and as Hernandez hits the ropes Bradley reaches up and grabs his boot thinking that it was Magnus. Hernandez argues with Bradley and then turns around right into a rollup from Magnus! 1…2…3!

Winners: Magnus & Anderson via pinfall (rollup)

Anderson celebrates after the match as if he won the match.

In the back Austin Aries bitches to Bobby Roode about the “conspiracy” Hulk Hogan used on him to make him lose the X-Division Title last week. Aries suggests that if Roode helped him last week it might not have happened but Roode says he has his own problems because he’s 0-3 in the BFG Series so far. Roode says tonight is the Gauntlet Match and he needs those points, but then Bad Influence walk in and interrupt them. Bad Influence reminds them that they’re the only 4 men left in the Jokers Wild Tournament so the odds are in their favor that the two teams will stay together for the match. Daniels says it will be the Bad Influence vs. The Dirty Heels one more time. As they leave Aries makes fun of the way they talk and Roode says one thing he and Aries can agree on is how much they hate Bad Influence.

Dixie Carter just announced via Twitter the first three X-Division wrestlers for next week’s Destination X are Chavo Guerrero Jr., Manik (apparently the way I was spelling it (Manic) last week was incorrect), and Kenny King.

—-COMMERCIAL BREAK—-

Gail Kim is shown stretching backstage.

The next team announced is Daniels & Aries and they will face Roode & Kazarian.

Daniels was pissed at the announcement that Aries would be his partner rather than Kazarian and as they came to the ring he told Aries to follow his lead. Daniels and Kazarian will start the match against each other but instead of lockup they shake hands which pisses Aries off and causes him to blind tag himself in. Aries locks up with Kazarian and Kaz gets Aries in a waistlock and then transitions into a leg sweep before floating over into a headlock. Aries counters into a wristlock but Kaz grabs the top rope and uses it to flip over and counter the hold into a wristlock of his own. Kaz transitions into a headlock but Aries shoves him into the ropes only to eat a shoulder block. Kaz hits the ropes again and Aries leapfrogs him and then catches him with an armdrag! Aries locks Kaz in an armbar but Kaz reaches his legs up and gets Aries in a headscissors. Aries does a headstand to escape and then a Basement Dropkick for a nearfall. Daniels blind tags himself into the match and then asks Kaz if he is okay and tells Kaz to tag Roode in.

Aces & Eights regroup backstage for the VP voting. Bully says there has been a problem inside of the club lately and they got rid of one problem in D-Lo but now they need a new VP. Both DOC & Anderson think they are the man for the job and he is going to leave this decision up to the rest of the club and he isn’t voting. Anderson votes for himself and DOC votes for himself as well. Wes picks Anderson, Devon picks DOC, Garett picks Anderson, Taz picks DOC, and Knux breaks the tie as he picks Anderson. DOC can’t believe that Knux went against him and Bully officially makes Anderson the VP. DOC gets in Knux’s face but Knux says it isn’t about DOC it’s about the club. DOC was still pissed.

Mickie James comes out before the Knockouts Ladder Match and will sit ringside for this match. She hilariously slaps a little kid’s hand away as she wants to get a high 5.

Hulk Hogan comes out to the ring and says next week at Destination X the X-Division takes center stage. Hogan introduces the X-Division Champion Chris Sabin. Hogan hands the microphone to Sabin and he says there was a time not too long ago after tearing both his ACL’s that he thought he would never be able to compete again. He says that the doctors told him that he couldn’t do it and his family said he shouldn’t do it but he never gave up on his dream. He says this is a dream he’s had ever since he was a kid watching Hulk Hogan on TV. Sabin says that dream is to become the World Heavyweight Champion and then he says the only thing left to do is hand over the X-Division Title. Sabin starts to hand the title over but then Bully Ray walks out interrupting them along with Devon.

Bully tells Hulk that he needs to tell Brooke that he and she have unfinished business and then he tells Sabin that he must be living in a fantasyland. He tells Sabin to do himself a favor and not hand that title over. He says that Hogan is going to get Sabin in trouble with Bully like he’s gotten everyone else in TNA including Hulk’s on daughter. Bully says he is a bad man and he does bad things and there is no way a “little boy” like Sabin can beat a man and a World Champion like Bully. He asks Sabin how bad he’ll beat the “living piss” out of Sabin if he cashes in that shot.

Sabin tells Bully to shut the hell up and says that with all of Bully’s “do you know who I am?” stuff he may have forgotten who Sabin is. Sabin asks Bully if he’s forgotten that he’s beaten him before and he’s the man that beat him in Team 3D’s retirement match and he says he’s the only man to have ever kicked out of the 3D…ever. Sabin says he’s the underdog but that is nothing new to him because he’s always been the underdog. Sabin says that a big man like Bully probably would beat a little man like him 9 times out of 10 but all he needs is that one time. Sabin says he will beat Bully at Destination X and he will ask Bully if he knows who HE is… “I am Chris Sabin…the TNA…WORLD Heavyweight Champion!”

Sabin holds up the X-Division Title and hands it over to Hogan signifying the cash in. Bully says that Sabin has just signed his death warrant and he reminds Sabin that he isn’t just fighting Bully at DX, he is fighting his whole family. Aces & Eights begin walking out but then Main Event Mafia’s music hits and they walk onto the stage putting a halt to Aces & Eights.

Sting says it won’t be Chris Sabin vs. Aces & Eights next week, it will be Chris Sabin against Bully Ray all by himself. Sting says his family will make sure of that and then he introduces the newest member of Main Event Mafia, the “Heavy Hitter”… RAMPAGE JACKSON! Rampage Jackson walks out sand stares down Bully Ray! As Aces & Eights freak out!
